politically correct

Subject: A PC Xmas card.


I WANTED TO SEND YOU A CHRISTMAS CARD BUT MY

ATTORNEY ADVISED ME TO SEND THE FOLLOWING...

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral, celebration of some sort of holiday on or about the winter solstice, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all, and a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2005, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great (not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country or is the only "America" in the western hemisphere), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, or sexual orientation of the wishee.

If you choose, please spread the joy, or other emotion of your choice.



Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and you cry alone.

May be politically correct, but sure lacks any feeling

BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA...(wiping tears from eyes)...HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Both of those are great.

Yeah, happy "whatever".;)

Ya know what's so ironic, I don't feel that the ACLU has done anything for my civil liberties, but screw them up. Who asked them to get involved with everyone's holiday's, much less anything else, anyways? :curse:

I just can't figure out why a bunch of athiests would care about what people who are religious celibrate. So much so, that the majority of the people of this country, who are religious, have to back down to a bunch of whiners, who are the minority. Eh, I guess only GOD knows.:thumb:

Well that's good because they take the cases nobody will touch but I don't want to get into a political discusion; I'm glad you find them amusing.

And absquatulation is a real word believe it or not!
 
Yeah, sure it's a real word. What does it mean and use it in a sentence. Also, can you spell it without looking at or copying it. No prompting. :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

absquatulation...it's a noun, and it describes the action of going away suddenly, or making off with something.
For an Example: If the train doesn't show up soon, the railfans will assume total absquatulation.


Good enough for ya?

"As a writer in the old Vanity Fair magazine in 1875 elaborated: “They dusted, vamosed the ranch, made tracks, cut dirt, hoed it out of there”."

Worst of all is that I am going to steal, use, plagiarise this for my own use without giving a wee bit of credit to anyone<g>

I believe it. Now I have one more word I can add to my list of words that I will probably never remember, much less use. Humm, come to think of it, I may just start using it. Nothing like messing with the natives' heads.

and they're cheaper

Is that because Santa or Jesus gets a cut from "Merry Christmas" in cards?
That explains the sleath sleigh, presents and 60,000 churches with flying buttress's.
I'm not Jewish but I did Surive A Boy's Catholic HS.....were the Priests had a license to kill.
I kind of like Ba Humbug myself :)

Uh, Howard, did you ever wonder why they are cheaper? It's called suppy and demand. If the demand for these cards are low, they become cheaper, regardless of quality. Think about it...:)

I'm a hard core atheist, and I believe in individual freedom, which,, no one will ever convince me that that the American Civil Liberties Underminers have any concept there of.
If you want to celibrate Christmas, good for you. If you want to celibrate Hannaka, great. If you want to write the whole thing off a crass commercialism, that's your right. No one, the gooberment included, has the right to tell you you can't. Hang a bunch of political correctness. If you aren't hurting someone else, go for it. Prayer in school, religious symbols in public places don't hurt anyone. If you don't like it, don't listen or look. We are supposed to have seperation of church and state. Recent laws show that the concept is no longer valid. The gooberment is now restricting when, and where, you can practice your religion, or lack of it.

I'll get off my soap box now,and wish you all, A Very Merry Christmas, a Happy Hannaka, a Happy Holidays, a happy whatever you celibrate, and hope you have a very pleasant and prosperous New Year!
